Chelsea could benefit from transfer dominos in Germany with a big signing, while Barcelona keep watch on a West Ham star – both in all the latest Euro Paper Talk.

BLUES COULD BENEFIT FROM BAYERN DOMINOS

Chelsea could get the perfect chance to land Bayern Munich centre-back Niklas Sule following a transfer domino effect at the club this summer, a report claims.

The Blues have reportedly identified the German as a strong target to add to their squad ahead of next season.

Sule’s contract runs out next summer and Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has admitted that an extension will only be possible under “certain conditions”, amid the cost of the pandemic.

As such, there remains doubt over whether the 25-year-old will stay in Bavaria. Indeed, should he decide to move on, Bayern would want to sell this summer to get the most value.

According to Abendzeitung, a domino effect will soon happen at Bayern which could push Sule towards an exit.

The German champions will sign Omari Richards from Reading, who will serve as back-up to left-back Alphonso Davies.

As such, Lucas Hernandez will move from left-back to centre-back to cover for David Alaba’s departure.

Bayern have also agreed a deal with RB Leipzig to sign Dayot Upamecano, who they want to partner Hernandez. Therefore, Sule will move down the pecking order and could seriously ponder a move away.

As for Chelsea‘s interest, Sule’s fellow German Thomas Tuchel has strong interest and the Blues have reportedly already sent an ‘attractive enquiry’.

But while other clubs remain in the race, Chelsea hope their proposal will suit the player best.
